By processing crops, agricultural, forestry, fisheries and aquaculture residues, and other renewable organic materials, bioeconomy can generate bioenergy and bio-based fuels, as well as produce new, innovative, high-value bio-based materials and products. This can help reduce the need for traditional raw materials and energy sources, limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and waste generation, and promote sustainable production processes and methods.

CSA Group’s standards and research support the transition to bioeconomy by setting requirements and guidance across the whole landscape – from sustainable biomass supply chain through safety and performance of conversion technologies to bio-based products, their use, and end-of-life management, including the disposal, recycling, and repurposing.
